Emergency Health QR

In an emergency, the people helping you do not have time to ask. A single QR code on your phone holds the medical details that matter most, so first responders get them when they need them.


the details that matter

Built for the emergency, not the paperwork

Name, date of birth, blood type, allergies, medicines, and treatment wishes. Plus the practical things responders actually need: your language, how to reach your family, your doctor, and your preferred hospital. Add an optional photo so responders can confirm the card matches the person in front of them.

instantly recognizable

A QR that reads as an emergency

Your QR is printed in emergency red with a clear label, so there is no guessing what it is when you are not the one holding it. Anyone who scans it lands on a card that is unmistakably a medical ID.

issued, not just a picture

Every card is issued by Saacho and attributable

Cards are signed at creation and checked every time they are opened. An issued card shows the issue date and card ID. A copied, forged, or revoked card is flagged immediately. The medical details themselves are self-declared by the owner — Saacho confirms the card is genuine, not that its contents are medically accurate. Creating a card requires a one-time attestation that the details are accurate.

emergency numbers built in

One tap to call for help

Every live card shows prominent buttons for 102 (Ambulance) and 100 (Police) — Nepal's emergency numbers. The card also makes every listed contact a tap-to-call link, and the hospital field links to maps. When seconds matter, the responder does not need to hunt for numbers.

not just for yourself

Built for caregivers, too

The same card works whether you are creating it for yourself or for a parent, child, or someone you support. You sign in, fill in their details, and put your phone in the emergency contacts. The QR becomes their ID and your direct line. That is the diaspora use case: your parent carries the card in Kathmandu; you get the call from abroad.

your information, yours

Current when it counts

Update the card whenever your details change, so the person reading it in an emergency is reading the truth, not a stale form.

put it where they look

Carry it somewhere discoverable

An emergency card only helps if it is found. A few ways to keep it within arm's reach:

  • Set it as your lock screen wallpaper. Download the QR and make it your phone's lock screen, so it is visible without unlocking the device.
  • Print it. Slip a paper copy in your wallet, inside the back panel of your phone case, or in a bag you carry daily. Stick the QR on your helmet, bike frame, or car dashboard — responders check those first in a traffic incident.
  • Add a home-screen shortcut. Open your card page and choose "Add to Home Screen" so it is one tap away.
  • Share the link (or the QR — same thing). The QR code is just a pointer to your card's URL. Send the link or the QR image to family, your physician, or a trusted neighbor. Either way, they always land on the live card — if you update a medication or change a contact, everyone who scans the same QR sees the change instantly. You never need to reprint or reshare the QR when the card updates.
  • Keep it current. Update the card whenever your medicines, allergies, or contacts change, so the person reading it in an emergency is reading the truth.

Disclaimer: The Emergency Health QR card stores information you provide. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace carrying official identification or health documents. Treatment wishes (e.g., DNR, no-transfusion) are self-declared and not legally binding directives — in an emergency, always follow the guidance of trained responders and applicable law.
